History
During the Syrian Civil War, Ithriyah became a strategically important point. It lays on the last highway under government control connecting the city of Aleppo to Khanasir and the Al-Salamiyah region. In the Ithriyah-Raqqah offensive (February–March 2016) and Ithriyah-Raqqah offensive (June 2016), the town was used as a launching point for offensives against IS.
